Came here to take passport photos, they didn't match the guidelines on the government website, so went back for a refund. The lady that took the pictures got all offended and acted unprofessional, didn't even want to listen, just because we are trying to be cautious and avoid any potential issues. The government website states that the pictures can't have any tint, ours had a blue hue. It also states that it can't be digitally scanned. The post office only provides physical copies. She said herself that if there's any issue, we can get a refund, but proceeds to get upset when we did just to be safe. After all, it's not cheap. $30 for 4 pictures.

This is the worst post office I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with. I just filed a complaint directly with USPS. My carrier never attempts to deliver to my front door if the parcel locker is full or the item too large. They leave a pink slip in the box saying it will be redelivered, then it isn't. Most of the time, I'm not able to schedule redelivery on the website either. I work full time which doesn't allow me to get to the Post Office until weekends, since they close so early. Often my packages are NEEDED items, like groceries, that are delayed for zero reason other than an unwillingness to do their job.
Earlier this year, yet another package of mine was undelivered and set to pick up. When I came to this location, the woman working the desk couldn't find my package and told me she couldn't do anything else. I had to continue to push and show that USPS website said my package was at this location for her to even attempt bare minimum assistance. I eventually received an email from Richard Smith regarding the issue. He did not reply to any of my emails. One day, my package showed up on my doorstep without any notice, well after hours. Around 9 PM. Didn't receive any further communication.
